What, exactly, would constitute sufficient proof that "CE" and "BCE" are not well-used, or even recognised, outside of the United States?
Well you could start by telling us what part of the story has been omitted from this: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/articles/531644 ... It was somewhat hard to find that URL because google returns so many .uk sites using the BCE/CE nomenclature.
In any case, I think this is becoming pointless rehashing of the debate that already occurred on wikipedia. It has already been decided that both forms are acceptable. That BCE/CE might be less well known or even US centric has no bearing on weather or not arbcom is engaging in affirming one POV over another.
